Focalistic Reveals Why He Always Wanted To Delete Twitter For The Past 2 Years. Focalistic aka Pitori Maradona gained popularity after his authentic pen game caught the attention of fans from his home town and now, the rest of the world. Foca raps are in Sepitori—a vernacular spoken in Pretoria townships made up of a variety of South African languages, mostly Sesotho, Setswana and tsotsitaal (slang).
Focalistic said he has always wanted to delete Twitter for the past two years reason being the only thing that tends there is negative news. He also mentioned that he likes making music and nothing else. He wrote, ” …& another thing, Ive wanted to delete Twitter for the past 2 years. The only things that trend on here are negative news, it’s weird for me. I’m just a broer who enjoys making music dawg. Akena scandal, Ke vrostana music le majita aka. You guys want TEA everyday, aoowa.”
Focalistic started rapping in the Hi Hop scene, and later transitioned towards amapiano. Foca said he never struggled rapping over amapiano. Speaking to OkayAfrica, Foca said: “It was never a discussion. I was in the studio and I was trying out new things. I think that’s the first day I recorded my first freestyle over an old school song, I can’t remember which one. And then we realised we enjoy that more, I enjoy it more… so I’m not a person who writes lyrics, so for me it’s like Jay-Z, he goes into the studio and you do four bars, stop, eight bars, and so on… That was the most natural thing when I did house beats. And then getting introduced to amapiano by Snow Deep. At the time, it wasn’t even known. And he was like, “I need you to rap on this, I know you can do it”, and that’s what happened. That’s why we’re here where we are right now. It was a natural thing, I never tried to force it.
